Need to Know

Things we think you should know:

Entry into New Zealand:

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering New Zealand.

 

Passport Validity: 

To enter New Zealand, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave. If you’re travelling through another country on your way to or from New Zealand, check the entry requirements for that country. Many countries will only allow entry if you have at least 6 months of validity remaining on your passport.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

 

Visa requirements:

You do not need a visa to enter New Zealand if you are a visitor staying less than 6 months. You do need a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA).

At New Zealand border control, you will also need to show that you meet the criteria for visa-free entry:

- proof of a return or onward ticket

- proof that you have enough money for your stay

 

Check the full criteria on New Zealand Immigration.

New Zealand has strict immigration rules, particularly on employment. Visitors cannot work in New Zealand.

 

New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA):

If you are entering without a visa, you need a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before you travel. You will also need to pay an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy when you apply.

Allow up to 72 hours for it to be processed. Your NZeTA is valid for up to 2 years.

 

Ready to book:

Book with confidence. You can be assured that your trip is protected from any unforeseen circumstances.

We’ll need to take some details for everyone joining us in New Zealand:

- Full name (as it is written on each passport)

- Date of Birth

- Passport Information

It’s ok if you don’t have everyone’s passport details to hand right now, but within a week of making your booking, we’ll need:

- Passport Number

- Passport Expiry Date

- Passport Country of Issue/Nationality

The lead person on the booking needs to be 18 or over, and we’ll need a postal address, phone number and email address for them, as well as payment details. 

 

We want to make sure you're up to date on everything there is to know, so have a read of the ‘important info’ on the last screen before you finish your booking.

And once you’re all booked…

We’ll be in touch before the departure date with your travel documents. These will include your finalised flight and accommodation details, along with your ticket information. We'll add any other useful information we'd like you to know here too.
